42 28 MARY SWANZY HRHA (1882-1978) Olive Trees and Landscape Oil on board, 21 x 29cm (8.2 x 11.4“) Signed Provenance: With The Dawson Gallery, Dublin. € 4,000 - 6,000 Swanzy maintained her engagement with landscape painting throughout her life traveling to visit Italy and France into old age. The modeling of the church with the outlined overlapping forms of the trees in Churchyard suggest the influence of Cézanne, the father of modernism, as does the linking of the distant mountains with the tree in the foreground using distinctive brushstrokes in Olive Trees and Landscape.
